Why will MUFC's FFP position be greatly improved this summer? See the below picture. As of this date, the 3rd biggest loss EVER in the PL from 21/22 will be off-the-books.
If investments aren't made in the squad this summer, it should not be blamed on FFP.

And the propaganda is working, a common reply from MUFC fans I see is that ‘it’s ridiculous that we cant even get into the top 4 after spending £380m on transfers’.
We have spent significantly LESS on new signings (transfer fees, wages, agents fees, sign on fees) than City and
Watched MOTD this morning and what a fall off! It's propaganda central. Dismissed all 3 United penalty claims like there was no discussion & just showed Burnley chances like we didn't have more...total misrepresentation of the game on a public funded platform. Disgrace

⚠️Can we set a few things straight?

Of the players we had on the squad tonight — only Bruno comes close to challenging for a spot in Bayern’s starting XI.
Player for player — there is just a significant difference in class

A bit of a rant warning, but this reveals a very problematic aspect of MUFC.
Anyone remember the reports on how ETH was ‘completely in charge of transfers’? They came from within the club. If you know how the club operates, those reports just weren’t credible. But (a) it is
🚨🚨🎙️| Erik ten Hag: “The prices paid for players are indeed very high - but I am not responsible for that. The club did all the negotiations, including with very good potential players who didn't come in the end.”

🚨💣A few brief comments on MUFC's FFP position.
🔺Letting Martial go on a free clears his salary, which is £13m for a full year and hence roughly a £6.5m saving if he goes in January.
🔺We are said to come in £28m below budget due to our CL performance.
🔺But, its important

🔔Great piece by Mark Ogden! ETH has written off 20 players since taking over MUFC, most haven’t found a new club at all or have very limited suitors. AND the job of clearing house is far from done. ETH was given a very difficult task when he came in. On top of that he has to

What does Simon Stone expect? Journalists of all other teams will write fat headlines when “their” team are screwed by the refs? Our journalists are thrilled and salutes the refs because then they get to continue the pile on. Thanks guys!
That has to be some kind of record. 90+9 on Saturday, 90+10 and 90+11 tonight. Man Utd lose five points ridiculously late in injury-time.

This need to be discussed more. You need a DNA kit to determine if Casemiro even touched him, 100 cameras in slow-mo can’t determine it.
This league is corrupt. Paul Tierney who was ref at anfield for those two stonewall penalties has just given a clear dive on VAR. Not fit for purpose

Is Man Utd limited to spend only a fraction of the £175m we spent last summer, in the summer of 2024 due to FFP concern?
No, not even remotely, claiming that is simply absurd. We were limited this season by FFP due to the record loss in 21/22. After 30 June, 2024, this loss is

Look, MUFC is responsible for keeping confidential information confidential or announce it in a way that is advantageous.
If enough ppl know something — it will leak — and the club must be able to control it so that it doesn’t come out the day before the FAC final.
Of course
There’s gonna be a lot of performative outrage about Man Utd making contingency plans or (reportedly) contacting coaches in week before a final. But they have to be doing it when other big clubs are active in managerial market and when your ambitions are medium-long term.
